Project Overview

The City of Tracy is building a new Aquatic Center for recreational and competitive use. The long-awaited Aquatic Center will be a community facility owned, operated, and programmed by the City of Tracy, offering recreational/competitive areas, swim lessons and more. The City Council ranked amenities in descending order of priority, as funding permits: 1) a 50-meter competition pool; 2) a recreation and warmup pool; 3) a lazy river; 4) water slides; 5) a toddler area; 6) an indoor pool (optional); and 7) a fitness center (optional).

The proposed timeline for the Aquatic Center is as follows. All dates are subject to change based on weather, equipment and material availability or other potential delays.
